The Alt-Right Playbook[edit]

Fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:WEBCRIT as apparently pretty much the only reliable source on the whole internet is the CTV News article cited here.

Note that some sources use the phrase "alt-right playbook" without referring to this web series: [1][2] Pudeo (talk) 08:38, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Hi, I've found some more on the whole internet: [3], [4], [5]. Also in this book: [6] --Adam Harangozó (talk) 08:58, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Houston Press is probably an acceptable source (although it is a small publication), but the mentions there are short (it briefly mentions Youtube flagging of the channel by alt-righters). Apparently The Observer is a newspaper run by the international affairs club at Queen's University, and this article has been written in collaboration with an academic blog within the university. It doesn't go into much depth either but states that according to this web series, the alt-right will either create a community or infiltrate one. The third podcast source is clearly not WP:RELIABLE and the book only mentions this series in the reference list by name. --Pudeo (talk) 09:22, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep but suggest creating an article on ~~Ian Danskin~~ Innuendo Studios instead. Sometimes coverage of The Alt-Right Playbook will be under the name of a specific video and not mention the exact phrase "Alt-Right Playbook" e.g. [7]. There's some good coverage of other Danskin videos videos e.g. [8][9][10]. With these three sources and CTV News above, that makes four substantial sources spanning several years and many videos, which I think makes Danskin notable. However, The Alt-Right Playbook in isolation probably isn't, so we should move the page, change its scope and then leave its current title as a redirect. Also, I can't view this source (geoblocked) but it came up from a relevant search: [11]. — Bilorv (talk) 17:31, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete I don't think notability is there yet but there is a reasonable chance that it might be in the future. I know that a lot of people rate this series very highly. I agree with Bilorv that an article about Danskin might be better than an article about the series as it can cover this and his other work but I'm still not sure that the notability is there for that either, at least not yet. It is borderline. I'd certainly have no objection to it being turned into a draft and brought back in another form if/when the sources are sufficient. --DanielRigal (talk) 17:41, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is a notable web series that has gained traction on the internet.ImYourTurboLover (talk) 16:13, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Move to Ian Danskin and refocus accordingly, per Bilorv. XOR'easter (talk) 15:38, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Innuendo Studios. Danskin does not appear to be notable at all outside of Innuendo Studios. There are several sources that only refer to Innuendo Studios and do not mention Danskin, ie [12], [13], [14]. I also note this Dutch article about "BreadTube" with a section on Innuendo Studios. userdude 19:52, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, good point. Yes, this is the same topic as I was meaning and you're right, the WP:COMMONNAME would be Innuendo Studios not Ian Danskin. — Bilorv (talk) 20:35, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be fine with that move target. XOR'easter (talk) 19:41, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Innuendo Studios, series does not appear to meet notability requirements but Inneundo Studios / Ian Danskin does. XVDC (talk) 10:45, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Innuendo Studios per @XVDC and @userdude. That is the only notable subject we are involved with here, not "The Alt-Right Playbook". Newshunter12 (talk) 03:58, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
